Walmart, Sam’s raise cash for Children’s Miracle Network

Walmart and Sam’s Club associates, customers and members recently wrapped up a six-week campaign to raise funds for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals across the country.

The Amarillo Affiliate of Children’s Miracle Network partnered with 14 stores and clubs across the Amarillo region that were able to raise $184,140 to help sick children and their families.

Nationally, through donations accepted at cash registers and in-store fundraising activities Walmart raised more than $40.2 million for the 170 affiliates that make up Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and helps provide patient visits for

more than 10 million kids each year.

“The CMN Campaign gives our associates and customers the chance to impact the lives of children in the

Panhandle,” said Jason Salisbury, manager of Walmart No. 822 at East Interstate 40 and Grand Street in Amarillo. “Together, our associates are helping save lives. It takes each and every one of us to reach our goal.”

Walmart and Sam’s Club have collected more than $740 million for the charity since 1987.

Walmart and Sam’s Club funds impact each of the 170 Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Affiliates, which treat one in 10 children across North America. Affiliates utilize the funds based on what they need the most—typically for purchasing lifesaving equipment, supporting top therapy programs and providing charitable care.
